Disaster Resistant California Community Colleges | 2009 “Knowing how to respond quickly and efficiently in a crisis is critical to ensuring the safety of our schools and students.

At that moment, everyone involved from top to bottom should know the drill and know each other.” -- U.S. Secretary Margaret Spellings
